Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a roller bearing comprising a cage made from a thermoplastic polymer-containing material. By cross-linking the polymeric material its properties, such as form retention and compatibility with lubricants, are improved. A roller bearing provided with a cage made from suitably cross-linked thermoplastic polymer-containing material can be used even at temperatures above the melting point of the polymer. According to the invention a roller bearing is manufactured by forming a cage from thermoplastic polymer-containing material, providing it with rotating bodies and only then cross-linking the material. This avoids damage to an otherwise already rigid cage during the insertion of the rotating bodies.

Abstract: A rolling bearing comprises an inner race and an outer race which together enclose a bearing space in which rolling elements are accommodated, which bearing space is sealed off by means of seals fixed on the outer race. In order to prevent oil leakage, provision is made for the fastening between each seal and the outer race to be liquid-tight. The outer race can comprise at least one groove in which a seal is accommodated, while an elastic shut-off element can be provided, which shut-off element is accommodated in the groove.
